I really enjoyed this book. Some of the ideas of being so smart they should be a university level was a bit far fetched but its kinda like a dream to be that good ! The series gets even better I wish I could read faster. I recommend it to any one who likes spies or girls who kick but!

This was a fun adventure with a little love story mixed in. I think the rest of the series holds great potential.

AHHHH, THIS BOOK IS AWESOME!!!
I love stories about boarding schools and this one is great! The Gallagher Academy is not just a common boarding school - it is a school for rich and spoiled girls to the people outside, but in reality it's where the best spies are trained. It's a different world.
Of course there's disadvantages in that, too. Can you imagine what it's like for a teenager to live in an Academy like this one? Seeing the same people everyday, learning to risk their lives when they're so young, not being able to make friends or meet people outside those doors because no one could know the truth... That can't be easy.
So, when Cammie meets Josh and they fall in love, her whole world gets really confused. She starts a double life, but how is a teenager supposed to handle that?
I think that attending a school like the Gallagher Academy would be really cool but I don't know if I could give up a normal life for that.
Anyway, it's a great book. I really liked the story and I recommend it.

Very cute and fun. The characters were great and I enjoyed viewing a relationship like a spy operation. It fits surprisingly well. I bet I would have loved it more when I was younger, but I still enjoyed it. I listened to the audiobook, and it was...bad at times...but I could ignore the moments of cheesy reading or bad accents. I have a physical copy of the second book, and I'll pick that up soon, but we'll see if I read the whole series. I hope the stakes are raised as it goes along and introduces real danger.
